Title of the Collection: Continued 

Evaluation of the National Hypertension 

Control Initiative. 

Type of Collection: Revision. 

OMB No.: 0990–0482–OS/Office of 

Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH)/ 

Office of Minority Health (OMH). 

Abstract: As part of the federal 

response to COVID–19, the U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS)/Office of Secretary (OS)/ 

Office of Assistant Secretary for Health 

(OASH)/Office of Minority Health 

(OMH) has funded a new initiative 

involving two cooperative agreements 

with the American Heart Association 

(AHA) to improve COVID–19-related 

health outcomes by addressing 

hypertension (high blood pressure) 

among racial and ethnic minority 

populations. 

The $32 million project from the HHS 

Office of Minority Health (OMH) and 

the Health Resources and Services 

Administration (HRSA) Bureau of 

Primary Health Care will support the 

implementation of the National 

Hypertension Control Initiative (NHCI), 

a national initiative to improve blood 

pressure control among the most at-risk 

populations, including racial and ethnic 

minorities. 

The NHCI will support 350 

participating HRSA-funded health 

centers by providing patient and 

provider education and training for 

effective hypertension control and 

integration of remote blood pressure 

monitoring technology into treating 

hypertension for patients served by 

participating health centers. The project 

will also utilize the American Heart 

Association’s targeted media campaigns 

and existing partnerships with 

community-based organizations (CBOs) 

to help reach Black, Latino, and other 

impacted communities with (i) 

culturally and linguistically appropriate 

messages, (ii) access to blood pressure 

screenings, and (iii) connection to 

health centers to encourage proper 

treatment and management of 

hypertension of screened individuals. 

This initiative serves to increase the 

number of adult patients with 

controlled hypertension and reduce the 

potential risk of COVID-related health 

outcomes. 

AHA aims to conduct an evaluation to 

assess the feasibility of the 

implementation of each of the three 

NHCI strategies. The findings of this 

evaluation will inform the improvement 

and tailoring of AHA’s communication 

approaches about the importance of and 

techniques for improving blood pressure 

control, including the benefits of 

accurately measuring, rapidly acting, 

and having a patient-focused approach 

to blood pressure control. 

Methodology 

The current proposed evaluation of 

the NHCI project will use a mixed 

methods design, integrating both 

quantitative and qualitative data 

collection and analyses. Three main 

goals of data collection will be to: (1) 

track and monitor Community Health 

Workers’ (CHW) progress on activities 

related to knowledge and practices for 

blood pressure control and general 

health quarterly, (2) assess the reach and 

success of NHCI project strategies 

implemented by CHC partners. 

Specifically, the AHA will engage in: 

Primary Data Collection 

CHW Application. Collecting 

information on participating 

Community Health Workers (CHWs) at 

a single point in time to assist with 

placement in workforce activities 

related to blood pressure control. 

CHW Assessment Form. Monitoring 

the placement and community-based 

goals of CHWs participating in the NHCI 

at a single point in time. 

CHW Empowered To Serve (ETS) 

Program Modules. Administering health 

lessons and quizzes to Community 

Health Workers (CHWs) working with 

Community-based Organizations and 

Community Health Centers to assess

knowledge, skills, and practices both 

before (pre) and after (post) completion 

of the modules. 

CHC Surveys. Conducting online data 

collection on participation and use of 

NHCI services and supports with CHC 

staff, with a single collection for each 

survey.

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The invention listed below is 

directed to a device to measure 

placental oxygen saturation in pregnant 

women from 20 weeks of pregnancy to 

delivery. The device monitors maternal 

tissue oxygen saturation, blood oxygen 

saturation, breathing rate, heart rate, and 

heart rate variability from signal, fetal 

movement activity and potentially fetal 

heart rate and heart rate variability. This 

technology was discovered and is being 

developed by the National Institute on 

Child Health and Human Development
